Need to get a blackberry for work.

Debating between the 8310 (Pearl) and 8830 w/ full keyboard. I want to stay with verizon for my service.

I really like how much smaller the Pearl is. How hard will it be to read Emails on that thing? I don't see myself sending a lot of Emails from the blackberry, so I don't know if I really need one with a full text keyboard...

Your opinions?

A BlackBerry without QWERTY is really not a BlackBerry at all.

That is true, what phone suits your needs base it off of that ... with that size finger you should be fine with any thing...

i'm not sure if verizon has it yet but the new curve with the full keyboard is very nice. I had the 8820 for at&T and it was nice but rather large for a phone. The curve is perfect sized. I'm not sure how the old curve differs but maybe verizon has that? My brother has the pearl and likes it but i like my full keyboard.
